About the Radiologic Sciences Programs
Within the Department of Radiologic Sciences, interested students can obtain an Associate of Science Degree in Radiography, a Bachelor of Science Degree in Radiologic Sciences, or a Bachelor of Science degree in Medical Imaging Technology.
The BS degree in Radiologic Sciences offers individuals the opportunity to pursue three separate concentrations-an advanced clinical concentration for the associate degree radiographer, diagnostic medical sonography, or radiation therapy. The diagnostic medical sonography and radiation therapy programs are open to individuals with either a health professional AS degree background or a non-health professions background.
Diagnostic medical sonographers are concerned with the proper operation of the ultrasound equipment and preparation of patients for various types of diagnostic procedures. Upon request of a physician, they examine various parts of the body by using sound waves.
Radiation therapists use different forms of ionizing radiation for the treatment of benign and malignant tumors. They administer the prescribed dose of ionizing radiation to specific sites of the patient's body as directed by the physician.
